Part 6
The ride from bhopal airport to khan villa was full of tension. Zoya didn't want to go there. So she did one final try.
Zoya: Mr. Khan I'll stay in hotel. Please mujhe main road par hi drop kar dijiye.
Asad gave her a deathly glare.
Zoya: Mr. khan aise mat dhekhiye, aur waise bhi meri tanveer se nahi banti, so please main wahan nahi jaungi.
Asad: ab aapko tanveer se kya problem hai?
Zoya: kitni badi problem hai aapko kya pata...
Asad: not a word more, hum ghar jaa rahe hai... said asad in a steel voice which closed all discussion.
'yahan main unse apne dil ki baat kehne ka plan bana raha hun aur inhe ghar na jane ka bahana banana hai...'
Zoya was engulfed in a big hug by dilshad and najma as soon as she entered the house. They were all relieved to see zoya fine, on her feet.
Dilshad: allah ka lakh lakh shukar hai tum theek ho, tumhe pata hai jab crash ki news suni thi toh hum sab ki toh jaan hi nikal gai thi, asad toh pagalon ke tarah tumhe turant hi khojne nikal gaya.
Najma: haan zoya, humne toh dheere dheere umeed hi chood di thi, par bhaijaan ko pura yakeen tha aap unhe aise chood ke nahi jayengi, aur dhekhiye bhaijaan aakhir aapko le hi aaye.
Zoya 's face has three o's, both her eyes and her mouth. She was shocked to the revealition. Asad was actually concerned about her. That was not totally unexpected blow. 'kya Mr. Khan ko sach me meri fikar hoti hai ya sirf phoopi ke liye, lekin jo najme keh rahi hai usse toh lagta hai ki...'
Her chain of thoughts were broken by the slam of door of asad's room.
'again back to akdu ahmed khan...' zoya sighed and hugged her phoophi and najma both again. She was home...
Tanveer: zoya aap jakar aaram kar lijiye. Hum aapka khana lekar room me hi aatein hai aap thak gai hongi.
Zoya: sure...
'lagta hai itni aasani se pheecha nahi choodogi tum zoya... main bhi dhekhti hun iss baar tumhe aisa dur bhejungi ki laut kar wapas aana namumkin hoga...'
Tanveer asked the maid to set zoya' dinner, told her to call her, she will take the dinner to her room.
In zoya's room...
Knock knock...
Tanveer: zoya kya hum aandher aa jayien...
Zoya: haan tanveer aao... na...
Tanveer: zoya aapka dinner...
Zoya: main kha lungi tanveer...
Tanveer: asad ne ye medicines di hain, kaha hai ki aako khane ke baad khani hai...
Zoya: ok...
Zoya took her medicines. She was not feeling well after taking medicines. She felt suffocation, so she went to garden, only to find asad there talking over phone...
Asad: sab ho jayega na... Nahi nahi muhe purple drapes hi chahiye... Haan... haan... stage centre me hoga circular but height 8 to 10 inches hi honi chahiye...
Zoya: ye Mr.Khan kya kar rahe hai, lagta hai kisi party ki preparation...
Asad sensed zoya and turned around to find her keenly listening to what he was talking over phone...
Asad quickly cut the call...
Asad: aap phir meri batein sun rahi hain.
Zoya was startled that asad found her behind the bench...
Zoya: nahi nahi vo main aapni... main vo.. Haan... Main apni earring dhoond rahi thi... waise Mr. Khan aap kisi party ki preparation kar rahe hai...
Asad: matlab aap meri batein hi sun rahi thi... Yes ho rahi hai preparation. Mujhe ek naya project mila hai, mumbai mein, ye humari company ke liye ek success hai toh bas ussi ke liye...
Zoya: ohh... Good night Mr. Khan...
'stupid stupid stupid, zoya, tujhe kya laga Mr. Khan tere b'day ke liye party rakheinge. Tera b'day toh unhe pata bhi nahi hoga...'
Thud
Asad turned around to see the source of sound...
There he saw, zoya was laying unconscious...
